Based at the superb facilities of Bearwalden Crossfit in Saffron Walden, North Essex, we have a dedicated, fully equipped setup in the box – purely for weightlifting.

Our aim at NEWC is to help you progress and succeed within the sport weightlifting, either as a dedicated weightlifter or to apply it as a training to help you progress as an athlete.

North Essex Weightlifting Club is affiliated to and licensed by the B.W.L. British Weight Lifting organisation.

The club is run and managed by Coach Sam Parke with 15 years experience in the fitness industry, olympic weightlifting, personal and remote training, injury rehabilitation and Crossfit.

He is ably assisted by Coach Mark Hammerston and Coach Chris Wright.

All of our coaches are qualified, licensed, insured, and have valid DBS (CRB) checks.

We offer weightlifting courses for absolute beginners to experienced competition lifters, as well as strength and conditioning courses for athletes. Non-members will be welcome to take courses, but members will qualify for discounted prices.

There are special block course packages for organisations such as schools, sports clubs and associations.
